Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Society sets up educational institutions to disseminate among its members those attitudes and dispositions which enable them to participate efficiently and effectively in the life of the community and its different activities. Teachers in a society, therefore, have to take upon themselves the responsibility of training young students for efficient citizenship in that society and, so, foster in them those skills and attitudes by which they can contribute towards the development of society. The main objective of the present study is to study the influence of locality and qualification on the job satisfaction of primary school teachers. Job satisfaction questionnaire developed by Rama Mohan Babu (1992) was adopted. A sample of 240 primary school teachers representing all categories of schools in Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh in India by following the standardized procedures. &lsquo;t&rsquo; and ANOVA (&lsquo;F&rsquo; &ndash; test) were employed for analysis of the data. There is significant influence of locality at 0.01 level and qualification at 0.05 level of significance on the job satisfaction of primary school teachers. The implications are administrators to provide good facilities for the rural primary school teachers and have to provide orientation programmes and in-service programmes for the high qualified primary school teachers.</p>
